Castor, Ricinus communis<\/h5>\n

Land selection:<\/b> Select sloppy well drained and fertile land, avoid water logged land..
\n Season:<\/b>March- April and September- October (Pre and post monsoon).
\n Soil:<\/b> Both acidic and alkaline soils are suitable.<\/p>\n

Land preparation<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Land should be ploughed 2-3 times to a depth of 20-25 cm and leveled for facilitating good root\n

    penetration and easy weeding.<\/li>\n

  • 20 x 25 x 25cm (Length x Breadth x Depth) size pits are to be prepared maintaining 1x1m spacing<\/li>\n
  • In each pit, 1 kg well decomposed FYM is to be applied mixed thoroughly with soil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Seed treatment and sowing<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • Select mature seeds.<\/li>\n
    • Seeds should be treated with Bavistin @ 2 g\/kg seed to prevent fungal disease.<\/li>\n
    • Two seeds per pit at a depth of 2.5\u20133.0 cm are to be sown.<\/li>\n
    • Germination takes place after 7-10 days. <\/li>\n
    • Only one healthy seedling per pit is to be allowed for vigorous growth after germination. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"Silks\"<\/p>\n

      Cultural operation<\/h5>\n
        \n
      • Apply NPK@ 60:40:20 kg\/ha as 1st dose after one month of germination at the base of the plants by\n

        making rings or along with FYM at the time of pit digging.<\/li>\n

      • After 3 months, 30 kg N\/ha and 1 kg FYM\/plant should be applied for vigorous growth and yield. <\/li>\n
      • Carry out hoeing and weeding whenever necessary (3-4 times in a year). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Leaf harvest<\/h5>\n

            \n
          • lough the land 2-3 times and level it. <\/li>\n
          • Make 6 m x 2m bed and lift up to 15 cm above ground level. <\/li>\n
          • Apply 6 cft FYM and sand to each bed, mix thoroughly with the soil and level it. <\/li>\n
          • Leave the bed as such for 2 weeks.<\/li>\n
          • Apply 0.1% Indofil-M45 and Forat BHC solution @ 20 l\/ha 2 days before sowing and mix with the soil to\n

            avoid pest attack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Seed collection<\/h5>\n
              \n
            • Cover the Kesseru fruit on the plant with nylon net<\/li>\n
            • Collect the ripe fruit during February-March. <\/li>\n
            • Store the fruit in shade for 1-2 days. <\/li>\n
            • Soak the fruits overnight in water. <\/li>\n

              Seed sowing<\/h5>\n
                \n
              • Sow 800 seeds (2 seeds\/pit) in each nursery bed maintaining a spacing of 15 cm (pit to pit) by 20 cm\n

                (row to row). <\/li>\n

              • Mulch the seed bed with a thin layer of straw. <\/li>\n
              • Irrigate regularly in the morning and late noon hours during dry season. <\/li>\n
              • Provide a shed over the bed to protect from the direct sun light and hailstorm. <\/li>\n
              • 90% Germination can be obtained within 18-25 days. <\/li>\n
              • Displace the mulch after 90% germination. <\/li>\n
              • Displace the mulch after 90% germination. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
